Proof of Entangled Particles being Indetermined

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the proof of entangled particles being indeterminate, specifically referencing Bell's inequality as a critical statistical measure. Experiments that validate Bell's inequality demonstrate that entangled particles do not "choose" their states upon separation. The conversation emphasizes the necessity of careful experimental design to observe these quantum effects, with links to further examples provided for deeper understanding.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum entanglement principles

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but how do we know that entangled particles don't "choose" their states when they're separated? If possible, choose the most basic example. Thanks!

They require very careful experiments to show this - however, the difference is in the statistics and the proof is Bell's inequality. Any experiment that verifies this has demonstrated the effect.
